Over the years, you grow up, you mature and you see things in a different way, and it's reflected in the writing.

There's a mystery to writing, and you don't really know where most of it comes from.

I get good vibes from people. There is a thread of DNA that runs from the days that I was a young teenager to these days. It feels good to go back there.

Well, I Am... I Said was a very difficult song, very difficult because I really had to spend a lot of time thinking about what I was before the song was written.

The lyrics aren't simple, either. They're extremely difficult because I'm trying to say complicated things in as few words as possible.

Touch a man who can't walk up right, and that lame man, he's gonna fly.

Songs are so all-encompassing; they're the joys and sorrows and pacing of life.
